Your username is the part of your profile link after pinterest.com/, and it shows under your display name. A good one is short, easy to spell when someone hears it, and hints at what you pin. Pinterest usernames must be 3 to 30 characters and can only use letters, numbers and underscores, so spaces, dots and accented letters all have to go.
Type your name, your brand or a few niche words and the generator builds combinations such as "recipesbylena" or "thekitchenedit", removing anything Pinterest will not accept. This page cannot see which names are already taken, so try your favourites in Pinterest settings and keep a couple of backups ready.
Pinterest username rules
Usernames need 3 to 30 characters. Letters, numbers and underscores are allowed. Spaces, hyphens, dots, emojis and accented characters are not. The generator shows lowercase versions because they are the easiest to type and to say out loud.
Your display name is separate and more flexible. It can have spaces and can include a keyword, for example "Lena | Easy Dinner Recipes". The bio generator helps with the text under it.
Tips for a handle that lasts
Avoid years, trends and numbers that look random, because they date quickly and are hard to remember. If you also use Instagram, TikTok or a blog domain, matching handles make you easier to find everywhere. A broader word such as "kitchen" leaves more room to grow than "glutenfreecupcakes".
